CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) with its rich expertise in the area of genomics and a wide network of clinical partners across the country has embarked on a unique outreach programme, to enable equitable access to genetic testing for frequent genetic diseases. This programme aims to provide a platform for clinicians to tap into the rich and varied expertise of CSIR-IGIB in disease genomics to solve clinical problems. The Institute brings to table its pioneering expertise in genomics in the country, demonstrated over almost a decade through the Indian Genome variation project, the sequencing of first Indian personal genome and ongoing clinical genomics efforts in rare and common diseases with a large number of public and private healthcare institutions in the country. Through this effort, we make available this in-house expertise to a larger community of clinicians to enable precise diagnosis and prognostication of genetic diseases in India.

Referring us a caseIf you are a consultant, referring a patient for genomic analysis is quite simple. You could just fill up the online referral letter to let us know. We would get back with instructions on how to collect the samples and process it. [more]

Genomic tests available

We have presently a comprehensive offering of more than 80 genes which encompass a variety of genetic diseases and are working hard to improve upon the diseases and conditions covered under the programme.[more]
